Chapter 3 Apophis
I don't know what the use of the stone came from the dream to reality, and what is even more terrifying is that the word "DOOMSDAY" appears on it.
Bai Yuxuan felt that the stone had become heavier and heavier, making his hands tremble slightly.
After settling down, Bai Yuxuan found that there was more to the stone than that.
Underneath "DOOMSDAY" is a stick figure with extremely rough lines.
But as soon as Bai Yuxuan saw this painting, his mouth widened, the blood all over his body gushed to the top of his head, and his breathing and heartbeat seemed to be about to stop.
The content of this painting is very simple, there is a horizontal line below, a round thing at the top, and there are a few short lines next to it, which is supposed to indicate that this round thing is moving rapidly.
To be placed in normal times, this rough stick figure will not attract anyone's attention.
But in this situation, Bai Yuxuan understood at a glance that this painting clearly showed the scene of a meteorite attacking the Blue Star.
What made him feel even more cold was that there was a date clearly written at the bottom of this picture.
“3022.6.14”
And today, it happens to be June 14, 3021.
"DOOMSDAY", the meteorite image, the eerie date, it all adds up to make it easy to understand.
JUNE 14, 3022 IS THE DAY OF THE METEORITE ATTACK ON BLUE STAR, AND THIS DAY WILL ALSO BE DOOMSDAY.
This means that one year later, the world is coming to an end.
After figuring out the specific meaning of all the information recorded on this stone, Bai Yuxuan felt very incredible and a little blindly convinced of what had happened in just a dozen hours.
He clung to the stone and sat on the edge of the bed with a look of great sadness.
Bai Yuxuan was now convinced that the world would really come to an end in a year, and looking at his current appearance, it seemed that he was on the verge of collapse.
Gradually, the heavy darkness outside the window turned white, and the chirping of birds began to chirp, and a new day had begun.
The end of the world a year later has no effect on the world now, and everything is still as good as ever.
But for Bai Yuxuan, learning this news was really cruel to him.
It is always said that many times ignorance is the greatest happiness.
Bai Yuxuan had been sitting for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that he still had shallow breathing, his appearance would not be much different from a corpse.
Time passed quickly, it was already bright outside, and all kinds of sounds became noisy.
They were all first-year students who had the first class in the morning but got up late, hurriedly getting out of bed and rushing to the teaching building.
And Bai Yuxuan, as a senior student, obviously does not have this kind of trouble.
The time was approaching twelve o'clock at noon, and Bai Yuxuan suddenly stood up.
He went directly to the sink and washed his face indiscriminately, the expression on his face was neither sad nor joyful, and he could not peek into his inner thoughts.
He took a clean shirt from the closet and put it on his body, picked up his backpack and put the rock inside.
After doing all this, he opened the dormitory door and walked out.
"Bang!"
They were slammed shut, stirring up dust everywhere.
Bai Yuxuan walked out of the dormitory building, without squinting all the way, and walked directly to a teaching building.
"Laboratory Building A"
I don't know what Bai Yuxuan wants to do here.
He went straight to the third floor of the laboratory building and stopped at the doorway with a plaque reading the office of a professor in the chemistry department.
Bai Yuxuan knocked on the door, and there was a sound of "please come in" from inside the door, so Bai Yuxuan pushed the door and walked in.
A middle-aged man with a kind expression was sitting behind his desk and was looking at Bai Yuxuan with interest.
"Xiao Xuan, why do you have time to come here today?"
"Don't say these useless things, Uncle Zhou, I want to ask you for a favor."
This middle-aged man's name is Zhou Zhengzhi, a professor in the Department of Chemistry of Chengdu Normal University, and a classmate of Bai Yuxuan's father, who grew up watching Bai Yuxuan.
Bai Yuxuan took out the stone directly from his bag and slapped it on the desk with a bang.
"Uncle Zhou, I would like to ask you to go to the laboratory to help me do the composition analysis of this stone, and it is best to give me a detailed report."
Zhou Zhengzhi picked up the stone and spun around with interest, as if he wanted to say something.
But as soon as he saw Bai Yuxuan's eager expression, he swallowed the words that had reached his throat hard.
He stood up and patted Bai Yuxuan's shoulder and said, "Then you wait here, I'll go to the laboratory." ”
After speaking, Zhou Zhengzhi turned around and walked out of the office, leaving Bai Yuxuan to wait alone.
Bai Yuxuan was stunned for more than ten minutes, and seeing that Zhou Zhengzhi hadn't come back yet, presumably this matter would not be able to be solved in a while, so Bai Yuxuan took out his mobile phone.
He flipped through his phone boringly, Bai Yuxuan neither liked to play games, nor did he have the habit of reading on his mobile phone, and he had no friends of the opposite sex who could chat.
Taking out his phone made Bai Yuxuan even more bored, and then he suddenly clicked on the icon of the browser.
Bai Yuxuan entered the keywords "meteorite doomsday blue star" in the search box, and tens of thousands of search results jumped out in an instant.
He skimmed through it quickly, jumping over some of the results that couldn't match the Doomsday Eight Poles.
After reading hundreds of search results, an old news from a few years ago finally caught Bai Yuxuan's attention.
Recently, foreign astronomers observed that a near-Earth asteroid Apophis (Apophis) will reach its closest position to the eastern hemisphere of Blue Star on June 14, 3022. At this point, the probability of Apophis colliding with Blue Star is 1 in 30 (about 3.3%). If the two collide, 100 trillion kilojoules of energy will be generated, which is equivalent to the energy produced by the explosion of 100 billion tons of solid **, and all life on Earth will die within 10 minutes. It is understood that ......"
Seeing this news, Bai Yuxuan's body straightened up instantly, his fists were clenched, and his joints were pinched white.
"Apophis, Crash Blue Star, June 14, 3022."
These three keywords caused Bai Yuxuan's head to suffer a heavy blow.
This news was published by a very authoritative media in China, so its authenticity is beyond doubt.
Combined with this news and the information recorded on that stone, Bai Yuxuan knew it clearly.
The incomparably large object that appeared in yesterday's dream was not a meteorite, but an asteroid called Apophis.
And the probability of the two colliding at that time is not 1/30, but 100%!
The fear, doubt, and shock in his heart were answered at this moment, and Bai Yuxuan felt that he didn't seem to be so scared anymore, and now he seemed to be relieved.
It's like when you were a kid and you told you to get an injection, if you don't know exactly when you want to get an injection, then you will be scared every day, and you won't have a good life.
But if you tell you that you have to get an injection tomorrow, then you will think, as long as you endure until tomorrow to finish the injection, then you will not be afraid.
At this moment, Bai Yuxuan's feelings were the same, and there was even a faint smile on his face.
But in the next moment, his smile suddenly disappeared.
Because at this time, Zhou Zheng pushed the door straight and walked in, holding a report in his hand, with a puzzled expression on his face, and even a little frightened.
As soon as he saw Bai Yuxuan, he said eagerly, "Xiao Xuan, where did you get this thing from?!" ”
